| Question: | "We are having great difficulty in establishing turf within a space extending between 10 and 15 feet around several large pine trees. The shade beneath these trees is not at all intense, and we are of the opinion that the pine needles, or perhaps the rosin from the trees, affect the soil in a way detrimental to the grass. Have you any suggestions to offer?" |

| Answer/Response: | "The difficulty of growing grass under pine trees is a well-known fact, but its cause is entirely obscure. Red fescue and sheep's fescue seem to succeed better than any other grass under such trees, and our only suggestion can be that you try these grasses if you have not already done so." |
